anyone here ever raise axolotls from eggs? my tank is full of them! I have just been letting nature take its course but not sure exactly if I want 100 plus babies. from what ive read they will eat each other and most who raise them do it separately and it looks labor intensive. should I just keep them in the tank with the adults and let nature take its course?

How many do you want to keep?
Personally I’d likely let them naturally dwindle down and then remove however many I wanted to raise in separate containers. Once big enough, reintroduce them into the main tank. Or sell if that’s the goal.

I’ve never raised any from eggs but I’ve gotten some barely born with just a head and tail. They are very easy to raise. Chopped bloodworms or micro pellets worked for me. They do cannibalize at small sizes usually eating limbs and stuff
